You know, I don't think you need to be educated to be a great actor.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The armoury of having any academic education does not necessarily set you up for being a good or better actor.
To be a great actor you just need to comprehend, so that's why I became a writer.
I like to think of myself as a fairly educated human being, but I'm a very uneducated actor when it comes to movies, directors, producers, actors for that matter.
To be a good actor, you have to be very smart. But to be a great actor, you also have to have a streak of, 'I'm an idiot, a complete lunatic.'
All good actors are very bright. You can't be stupid and a good actor. You may be inarticulate, you may not be highly educated, but all good actors are quick-witted, some of them dazzlingly so. All you do is guide them.
To be a great actor, you really don't need to go to acting school or learn dance classes or work on your body. You have to be intelligent. You have to draw on a lot of emotions that you go through in life that you can tap into once you work on a set.
People don't know and they shouldn't know that you work incredibly hard as an actor.
Wanting to be a good actor is not good enough. You must want to be a great actor. You just have to have that.
I think to be a good actor you need either a good experience of life or education, or both.
Working with a great actor is really educational.
